The Forward Movement of the Fourteenth Century
ISBN: 9780814253571 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 206 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The papers collected in this volume emphasize the importance of the fourteenth century to the development of mediaeval institutions. Harry Bober presents a convincing case for regarding the period of Rayonnant Gothic architecture in France, not as a hiatus between High and Flamboyant Gothic, but as one in which new architectural aims were pursued. Grace Frank, in a critical look at French literature of the century, rejects much of the work of the court poets as little more than sterile imitation, but sees in the drama of the period the beginnings of a real and solid dramatic tradition. In his...

Custer and the Great Controversy: The Origin and Development of a Legend
ISBN: 9780803295612 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Custer and the Great Controversy was the first book to focus on the origins of what has come to be called the Custer myth. The Battle of the Little Bighorn has always been wrapped in mystery and controversy because none of Custer's men survived to tell what happened, because press accounts circulated much misinformation and editors politicized the event, because popular writers repeated the errors of journalists, because a court of inquiry issued in bitter debate, and because Indian testimony was hard to gauge. This book, originally published in 1962, helps the reader understand the sources...
